Which is worse... BU goes out leaving PU to cover for a tagged up runner going (home more likely than 2B), or guessing on a catch in the dark?
me either. in this case, 2 man sucks.
I could see the BU turning and opening up to the catch... PU stays at the dish (point of the plate) and has both runners in his vision and the first touch.

Regarding the once out stay out... in 2 man (for me) its, once out... come back and help me!! ya lazy a$$.

Nothing wrong with "guessing" has worked for us for years.
